That’s right, we started Pacifier Boot Camp in our house this week.  Surprisingly Mikayla is taking it a like a champ.  The first night I think she thought we just forgot and went on to sleep after crying for only a few minutes.  The next night she cried for 15-20 before falling asleep.  Last night was a little trickier because she is teething as well.  However, tonight she didn’t even make a sound.  She was either really tired (although Ben said she took a really long nap today) or doesn’t mind too much not having her pacifier! 

Yesterday was really funny though.  She had gone to a friends house for a few hours and must have seen Ben stick her pacifier into the diaper bag because all night she kept going over to it and pointing.  When she finally figured out how to get it out of the bag she  was so funny.  It was like she had found her long lost friend and wouldn’t let it out of her sight the rest of the night!  I wish I had gotten some pictures or video.  All in all though, I would say we are successfully removing the pacifier!

    When we were trying to get rid of my daughter’s we told her that if she threw it away we’d go to Target and buy a new toy. She marched straight to the trash can, tossed it in, and asked when we were going. We told our son the trash men took it and he never looked back. You just never know what might work. Good luck!
